Abstract

This book deals with several aspects of waste material recycling. It is divided into three sections. The first section explains the roles of stakeholders, both informal and formal sectors, in post-consumer waste activities. It also discusses waste collection programs for recycling. The second section discusses the analysis tools for recycling system. The third section focuses on the recycling process and optimal production. I hope that this book will convey both the need and means for recycling and resource conservation activities to a wide readership, at both academician and professional level, and contribute to the creation of a sound material-cycle society.

Abstract

Au Nord comme au Sud, les activités humaines de toutes natures (industrielles, mécaniques, manuelles ou sociales) génèrent des déchets. Ceux-ci posent un véritable problème d’environnement, de pollution et de santé publique. L’homme, principal producteur, se retrouve paradoxalement la principale victime.
Confrontés à ce problème depuis le Moyen-âge, les pays industrialisés font appel aux sciences les plus variées : technologie, économie, sociologie, anthropologie, psychologie, philosophie, droit et art…Toutes ces spécialités se trouvent impliquées dans la question des déchets.
En France, ces préoccupations grandissantes ont donné lieu à une nouvelle discipline appelée « rudologie ».
Par contre, dans les pays en développement comme en Afrique sub-saharienne, l’émergence d’une nouvelle société de consommation et de développement technique liée à la mondialisation des produits et des idées, associée à un manque criant d’infrastructures et à l’absence d’application du cadre juridique organisant la gestion des déchets fait que les problèmes générés par ceux-ci se posent avec plus d’acuité.
D’où la nécessité de sensibiliser les populations des pays sous développés à ces problèmes et de les faire participer à la gestion de la cité, malgré les multiples mutations (économiques, politiques et sociales) que connaissent leur villes.
Cette recherche se divise en 3 grandes parties. J’exposerai en premier lieu le cadre de la recherche, ensuite la partie théorique et enfin la partie pratique.
La cadre de recherche présente les motivations à l’origine de ce mémoire, l’objet et le type de recherche.
La partie théorique essaie de clarifier les concepts déchets et gestion des déchets dans la ville de Kinshasa, et celui de développement durable.
La partie pratique précise les questions et objectifs spécifiques de ma recherche, ainsi que les méthodes utilisées pour y répondre. Ensuite, je présente les résultats obtenus et la discussion de ceux-ci.
Une conclusion générale résume mes préoccupations et propose quelques pistes de solutions.

Abstract

This reprint focuses on applied research in the field of solid waste management as a local issue with global dimensions. The role of circular economy practices to achieve sustainable waste management is highlighted. Furthermore, modeling techniques to assess the impacts of various waste treatment options are demonstrated. A waste-to-hydrogen energy option using metal scrap is evaluated. On a regional level, four articles from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region highlight the challenges and opportunities in the field of municipal solid waste management. Options for marine plastic reduction are highlighted. Factors and actors for the management and use of bio-solids are another topic that is covered in the reprint.

Abstract

"Systems engineering techniques such as optimization tools, simulation model, integrated modeling systems, management information systems, decision support tools, material flow analysis, and life cycle assessment have been developed, yet have not been applied to the waste management industry as practical tools. This book introduces how to apply systems engineering techniques not only by theory, but also through practical case studies. The target applications include urban, industrial, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, waste streams such as waste packaging, end-of-life vehicles, waste batteries, waste of electric and electronic equipment, waste lubricant oils, end of life tires and all waste streams demanding sustainable management via appropriate systems analysis to meet both managerial and technical goals"--
